For the first 72 minutes, this weeks show features an artist, and fellow MIDI BEAR crew member, from Long Island, NY .. the DEXorphan . Joe "Dex" produces dark Ambient and Breakcore music with a distinctive style all his own. Joe was kind enough to make me a special MIX CD to play on my show. Be sure to visit this talented artists website right here:

The set also features a special remix version of NEOREV's "Oh No" !! Please don't miss the show .... also on the show I will play some of my favorite "Not Breathing" songs and a couple thrown in from NEOREV ...........

Great show Bill, I enjoyed it immensely. You did a lot more announcing of the songs both over the music and in-between songs. The additional information really peaked my interest, and your mention of events and listeners was pretty cool too. Dedicating your show to your mom was touching as well. Nicely done.

Thanks Les, I can always count on you for kind words. Thanks for noticing the change in the format of hte show. I think I will do a big more announcing from time to time. It hit me when Shane and I were doing the sound check when we tested my voice over the music and he commented that it came through just fine. I decided then I could just announce over some of the music.

It was good to have ScottG in the chat room. I hope we can get thim to submit music generated by his brilliant FPGA based FM synthesis system.

THis fall and winter will also see more LIVE performances by myself and local acts. I am also going to contact Kid Sputnik to do a laptop performance live forhte show.

Kid Sputnik will be on hand to show off his remixing skills with a remix of my original song "Circuit Machine" and later on I will play the original .... he will be sure to treat us to other originals as well. Kid sputnik will be appearing as part of the proceedings at the IN/OUT festival on Sat, December 12, 10:00am – 11:30pm at the TANK in New York City in case anyone is in the area:

Also, the Soldering Musician will be featuring some music by Aimee Bowen of Baltimore, MD .... "Talk To Animals" .......... high NRG Chip pop !! I saw Aimee perform at the last Pulsewave in New York City and just had to ask her if we can feature her music here on our show and she was more than happy to agree !! We thank her for that.

The Soldering Musician Show for Tuesday, December 15, 2009 starting at 6 PM EST ... or 23:00 GMT ....

OK, so I have been into this whole 8 bit chip music thing for a few months now and figured I would end this year with a "bit-bang" and have an "8 Bit Peoples" music holiday extravaganza featuring 6 artists from the very cool website:

Please join me for my last show of 2009 and PLEASE do head on over to the 8 bit peoples website and maybe even purchase something ----- don't be freakin' cheap .... support these hard working artists !!

top stuff, what a cool xmas treat Bill.
My dial will be set for soldering musician tonight.
I can hear the chips at the start line raring to go

Dave, I can always count on you being there !!! Thanks so much !!! For 2010, I plan more episodes featuring more "home brew" instruments. This will include hacked Atari Systems and other old vintage computers, circuit bent instruments, custom and hand built analog modulars, more of my own projects. I really think the show should stick more to it's original theme and thats to showcase music made with electronic instruments that folks build in their basements, bedrooms, and workshops

Thanks

Hear that... That's direct orders to finish your pcb backlogs and make some new music with your hand made creations, the world awaits the sound of your smouldering. _________________epicyclus@skrogmusic.plus.com

NICE !! I only wish more folks built my analog/digital keyboard design, the IKC (Integrated keyboard Controller). It's a product I feature in the "Microcontrollers and Prog. Logic" subforum but few really were interested. I was suprised that not many folks wanted to build a nice quality keyboard and controller for their modular.

Tuesdays show on January 19 at 6 PM EST will feature two demonstrations.

DEMO 1 (50 minutes)
The work of Scott Gravenhorst and his FPGA synthesizers. The segment will be 50 minutes of narratives by Scott himself and muscial examples. You don't want to miss this very innovative work.

DEMO 2 (20 minutes)
The new sMs Audio Electronics Quad Bass++ drum synthesizer featuring four Thomas Henry Bass++ drum synthesizers on a single circuit card assembly. The demonstration will feature narratives by myself explaining the setup and the many sounds the module can produce.

The last segment of the show features new music by "The Alison Project"
The record is entitled "Sequence to My Nightmare" and is part of the Torn Envelopes of live modular recordings between April through June of 2009.

Chris has been building his own analog modular synthesizers for many years and has now embarked on building yet another large modular that will be used for his touring work.
